We have developed a 12-week comprehensive Prep Program for the TOEFL® iBT that gives students the best preparation possible and the confidence they need to succeed!

The new Internet based TOEFL® iBT requires students to answer questions related to speaking, listening, reading and writing – and measures not just what they know, but how well they can express themselves and apply their knowledge. By taking the Prep Program, they will practice integrated reading and listening skills, improve writing and speaking, as well as learn test-taking strategies. The 12-week (30 lessons per week) Prep Program for the TOEFL® iBT also includes a seat for the exam!

And now, through an agreement with ETS, we have become ETS’ largest TOEFL Internet-Based Test (iBT) provider in the USA,

Pre-Arrival Test

To help students plan for study in the U.S., we have created a Pre-Arrival Test of language proficiency (PAT). The PAT is a quick, inexpensive and easy way to determine how long it will take a student to reach his or her goal for learning English. Student can also use the results to see if they are ready for one of the exciting advanced level courses offered, like the complete, 3-session TOEFL® iBT Preparation course.

The PAT evaluated grammar, listening, speaking and writing abilities in 30 to 50 minutes, on-line. The test taker receives immediate, machine-generated feedback on grammar and listening skills after completing the test. And he or she will get teacher-generated feedback on speaking and writing skills within 72 hours after taking the test, sent to any designated e-mail address.
